Emerging adulthood and SRs of current, future and ideal family

HYPOTHESIS
A. Investigated Italian emerging adults still have a dominant representation of
family, that results normative to future expectations, due to the strong
influence of the Italian traditional culture;
B. The time orientation affects the SRs of current, future and ideal family;
1. Male and female will take a different social position based on different gender
expectations in their representation of future and ideal family;
2. The economical condition (financial independence) will allow different and
eventual polemical representations for current, future and ideal family, due to a
closer perceived proximity of the own establishment of a family and in relation
with a more defined independence from family of origin;
3. In regard of family satisfaction level and family relations’ patterns, people
who have high level of satisfaction / flexible relations have a different
representation of the current, future and ideal family.
